Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The device of claim 1, wherein the motion data comprises one or a combination of the headband's position, speed, velocity, or acceleration.
3. The device of claim 2, wherein, when a new direction of the motion is contained in a periodic receipt of motion data from the sensor and a newly-selected first transducer is selected by the controller to reflect the new direction, one or more transducers are activated in sequence between the previously-selected first transducer and the newly-selected first transducer to indicate a rotational transition from the old direction to the new direction.
4. The device of claim 3, wherein the intensity of operation of the one or more transducers activated in sequence is gradually reduced in the reverse order of their activation so as to cause a trailing off of intensity following the indication of rotational transition.
5. The device of claim 4, wherein the haptic feedback is in the form of pressure, vibration, or electrical stimulation.
6. The device of claim 1, wherein the first sensor can be located at any position on the headband.
8. The method of claim 7, wherein the motion data comprises one or a combination of the headband's position, speed, velocity, or acceleration.
9. The method of claim 8, wherein, when a new direction of the motion is contained in a periodic receipt of motion data from the sensor or the input port and a newly-selected first transducer is selected by the controller to reflect the new direction, one or more transducers are activated in sequence between the previously-selected first transducer and the newly-selected first transducer to indicate a rotational transition from the old direction to the new direction.
10. The method of claim 9, wherein the intensity of operation of the one or more transducers activated in sequence is gradually reduced in the reverse order of their activation so as to cause a trailing off of intensity following the indication of rotational transition.
11. The device of claim 7, wherein the haptic feedback is in the form of pressure, vibration, or electrical stimulation.
12. The method of claim 7, wherein the first sensor can be located at any position on the headband.
